Aus vs NZ - 1st Test Sydney 17Aug2013

[Buster]

I love optimism and am holding out hope for a miracle, but i find it odd that McKenzie has picked a team largely of Brumbies players who 3 weeks ago tried to win a Super Rugby title paying % rugby and not throwing the ball around, yet his instruction is to get them chucking it round alot tonight. PS our forwards lack punch and will get shown up badly i feel, which will get the backs moving forward from back foot ball. I dont like the look of this for the Wobs, although i still hold out hope for a miracle.
SFinger cannot get on the field, Cooper under pressure late bothers me too.

I think the scrum will be our biggest challenge, however given Link was a prop in the era of hookers still hooking I am hoping that his experience may be advantageous

Yeah perhaps he should have stuck with the old Waratahs mob.

Jake schatz is out in the field all kitted out? Late change or just doing the warm up.

Fardy out injured?
EDIT: Saw Fardy warming up, McMeniman?

 

[Slim 293]

Nah, they just showed Fardy on the field while Greg Martin talked about MMM.........

And then I guess someone realised that Fardy isn't MMM and they changed shots.........

 

[GaffaCHinO]

As far as i can see everyone is out there so must just be doing warm up

Not uncommon, Peter Kimlin was all suited up in the pregame of the 3rd Lions test. Think they are just there in case of injury.

[Bardon]

Almost as excited for this game as I was for the Lions series. Hope it's a cracker.

Love that shot of the Australian team in their team huddle.......

...... sans James O'Connor who is focused on his shoe laces.

 

[biggsy]

Yep Its good to be back, just had a little tear for the wallabies.
Come on boys.

 

[Bardon]

Sloppy start from Aus.

One way traffic.

 

[No4918]

[Slim 293]

O'Connor has spent so much time away from the wing he's forgotten how to defend there.........

 

[mark_s]

[hazzaj]

[ACR]

O'Conner. Ooh, trust your inside man.
